Back to women's biggest issues....

And this is a big one (for me).

BLOODY TISSUES IN POCKETS .....THEY PI$$ ME OFF BIG TIME.

Yep... I go through hell when tissues are left in pockets and then a whole load of dark washing comes out looking like ice frosted $hyte.

Grrrrrrr Angry

Have you thought about checking pockets before you wash? That's what we do - man, woman and children because washing isn't a 'women's issue'.

Goodness me.. Lisa !! I'm with AA .. you don't NEED a husband to approve of you.. you need to approve of yourself, first.

You obviously belong to the women who do not feel they exist without someone to 'look after', preferably male, and/or children..

A scam... that's all it is.
You can escape your slavehood.. but not when you need others to verify your reality and your worth..look at yourself.. don't ask your husband for approval..

You are more than a wife and mother (slave).

But I'd have to say also Lisa.. if you only get upset about tissues in the wash, your life is extremely circumscribed, and unusually fortunate, if thats all that bothers you. Sad

Ah but perhaps, you have chosen to be that way... in exchange for a sense of security. A very false security.

THIS is important to you..?? Tissues in the washing..?? Huh

Are you being honest.?

maybe Lisa likes being a home maker, its a very valuable occupation and one which a lot of women should try instead of dumping their kids into childcare.

I can't think of anything more impt than being a full time mum. It's the best job in the world IMO. It's also very demanding and sadly undervalued as far as I'm concerned. By God it's rewarding....it really is

I believe that as mothers, we can do part time stuff (eg work or study) here and there around our children's timetables.

Ultimately though...our children come 1st.

Why bring children into the world only to subcontract the motherhood function out? That's not right IMO.

Well I am happy for you Lisa.. you have found your niche.. your raison d'etre.. and good luck to you.

I am saying that not all women fit that mould.. that's all.. and pressure to do so should not be tolerated.

the way im viewing it there is more pressure on women not to be homemakers, somehow the feminists view women who choose to stay home in a nurturing role as inadequate and berate them choosing to do so. Emmas comments in this thread are a prime example, denigrating another poster for simply choosing to be a wife and a mother.

Emma, to suggest that motherhood or marriage is slavery smacks of bitterness. Plenty of women find both of these rewarding and fulfilling and to judge them negatively for that is ridiculous.

uh yeah I maybe got a bit carried away .. sorry Lisa.. I hope your happiness continues, but you misinterpret me AA..

I wasn't saying motherhood is slavery... MARRIAGE on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish.

I was referring to MARRIAGE.. not motherhood..

and .. NO you may choose to interpret my posts as bitter.. but I assure you.. I have nothing but admiration for those who can make it work. !

Some, but not all, have issues with women that are better looking and skinnier than they are. Those that don't have issues with good looking skinny women are the good looking and skinny women. Grin

Interested to know what you think Emma, especially because of your..."like perhaps".....cryptic comment. Personally "women's issues" are very subjective and situation/circumstance dependant. I don't have "issues" per se, but I do believe in, and support, the "sisterhood" to an extent. I refuse to jump on bandwagons.

I agree. Also, some men have issues with drinking. Is that a gender specific issue though?

but where do you get off thinking YOU have any right to tell women what they should do.? That is what amazes me. To you.. women are a sort of.. 'one size fits all'.. if you can understand what I am saying.

where do you get off thinking you have a right to tell women what to do?

So says Rhino.. But Rhino I HAVEN"T been telling women what to do... I have been asking them think about it.. thats ALL.

Not like you, your god-given f'n expectations, you are telling wAustralian women what YOU think THEY should do. MY posts don't do that.. check it dimwit.

Well I'm speaking from my heart.. i do this without plan.. I enjoy writing and I like to get a point across. Especially when persons like Rhino hop on board and Honky... eg. Men telling women they ought to be more feminine on THIS topic.??
Talk about aking over the narrative..

.. now there is an issue for you

How many women are in Govt..?? Like eg Abbotts govt.. Abbott the Minister for Women.

This is Australia... Gangajang.

Did you post on Yahoo as Reidsays?

If so, my husband says hello

I counted them as I popped them in. 23 socks are presently sitting in the basket on the dining room table waiting to be paired up. You figure it out. I know I can't.
